Verily, for this knight be'ith uncertain of this musical goulash of minstrels Metallica and Louis Reed. Mayhaps this announcement be'ith made in jest? Such as ye California gubernatorial campaign of goodly Gary Colmeman?

In case anyone but me actually gives a shit here's the official work-in-progress website about said whatnot which will be released October 31 to the world and November 1 for us North American folk because we're not good enough or something:

I pretty much had the opposite reaction. I thought the Hetfield parts were more distracting because the lyrics really don't fit his vocals. This song is probably shitty, but I can't really tell. I know I'm probably not supposed to laugh at "I AM THE TABLE!" but I am. But in a good way. I'm sure I will get much entertainment out of this album.

And Lars really can't play the drums worth shit. He never was that good to begin with, but he's gotten really sloppy in his old age.
